By the time he asked the feds for help, it was too late. FEMA and the response team took 2 extra days to arrive and people were going insane and desperate (actually we were behaving quite civilized, even ladylike by NOLA standards.)
The democrats blamed it all on Bush. This Katrina howl is now a repeat performance from their old playbook and it will work to damage all Republicans if YOU let this happen.
In front of me sits the pull-out 2 page flyer on Hurricane Preparedness the newspaper includes nearly every weekend. I suspect that the NOLA citizens and their leaders have been using their Storm Guide Warnings as as butt wipes.
Yet, Bush 41 BEAT CLINTON in Florida in 1992.
Same old Media. Covering up for a mayor that abandoned his people and a Governor that is clueless.
